Help me set up this automation using n8n + Google Gemini + Telegram: "Amazon price tracker with Telegram alerts (n8n + Gemini)". Goal: replace Price-tracker sites/extensions. How it should work: - Trigger: On a schedule - Then: Checks product pages - Then: Gemini reads the price - Result: Telegram alert on a drop Setup steps (summarized from the original source): 1. Buy/import 2. Gemini key 3. Telegram bot + chat ID 4. Add products Guide me one step at a time. Ask me for anything you need (accounts, sheet or channel names) before you start. Safety rules: - Build and test with sample data first, and show me a sample result before anything goes live. - Keep anything that goes to other people (emails, posts, replies, record updates) as drafts for my review until I say otherwise. - Never send, post, buy, pay, delete or change records without my approval. - Tell me about any cost (paid plans, API usage) before I'd incur it, and help me set a spending limit. - Keep API keys and passwords out of shared docs and chats. - Privacy: Only product pages and prices are processed.
